The sports car left the Washington Bridge and headed west. Its speed was still above one hundred and eighty kilometers per hour. It weaved through the traffic, but because the cars chasing it had been shaken off, it felt much more stable.
The helicopter was still following behind. After a while, the sports car left the city road and turned onto the highway.
The lights flowed and snowflakes danced. The windshield wipers in front of the windshield swayed left and right. One of the wipers was broken, so it was particularly eye-catching at this moment. Compared to the previous hour of shock and chaos, everything seemed to have quieted down.
The person beside her still had that strange appearance, but it seemed that he was very far away from the ordinary, strange, and strange Gu Jiaming. So much so that she was at a loss of what to do. She held the seatbelt with both hands, occasionally looking at him, occasionally looking out of the car, and occasionally looking forward. She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
The air conditioner in the car felt a little hot. Perhaps it was affected by the gunfight, but she didn't want to ask him to turn the air conditioner colder. After all, this wasn't a vacation.
The broken windshield wiper made a whooshing sound.
After some time, the person next to her spoke first, "If you feel stuffy, you can open the window a little."
"But there's a helicopter behind us …"
"Just a little is enough. Their shooting isn't that accurate."
"Oh."
She nodded and opened the window a little. Suddenly, a pleasant cold wind whistled in.
At this time, they had probably left the city area. There were fewer houses on both sides of the road. Although there were still lights as far as the eye could see, it was obviously not as prosperous as New York.
After the first few sentences, Ya Han's somewhat strange mood gradually calmed down. "You look really strange right now …"
"Can't help it. Americans all look like this."
"You just like to talk nonsense."
"Haha …"
The two of them laughed. Then, they unconsciously looked to the side.
Thinking back to the friendship between the two of them, the current situation made her feel really uncomfortable. For a moment, Ya Han suddenly blamed herself. If she hadn't pointed it out, now …
"Have you been scared these past few days?" The sports car steadily passed the cars in front and quickly left them behind as the man spoke.
"You scared me."
Ya Han thought for a moment. "Since December, it's been like a movie. What's going on?"
"I was scared too …" Jiaming looked to the side, turned the steering wheel, and then pushed it back. He frowned. "I was doing fine at home, but suddenly there was a kidnapping and murder. I even had to come to America to do so many things. It's like … a dream I had a long time ago, and now I'm back …"
Ya Han could not understand Jiaming's sentimental tone. She looked back and said, "That helicopter is still following us. What should we do?" After a snowy breeze, the temperature in the car had dropped. She rolled up the window again.
"Hit it."
"With what?" Ya Han laughed. "A rocket launcher?"
"Haha, I didn't bring that thing."
Jiaming shook his head. "There should be a toll station not far ahead. Let's talk after we pass the toll station."
"This car can't pass the toll station, right?"
Although she knew that Jia Ming was resourceful, the body of this sports car was full of bullet marks. If they were to pay through the normal channels, there was no doubt that they would be stopped. Moreover, there was a plane behind them. Seeing Jia Ming smile, she understood a little in her heart.
A moment later, a large toll station with a total of 16 lanes appeared in front of them. It was brightly lit.
This was also an important checkpoint in and out of New York. Due to the heavy snow, there were a lot fewer cars passing through. Ya Han looked for an empty lane and pointed to the side. "There, there, there!
Ah … someone passed me … all these cars are moving so slowly … "
She was anxious and looked back at the helicopter. Before she could turn back, the sports car had increased its speed again. It swerved to the side and cut in front of a truck. When she turned back again, the slowly lowered railing of the toll station was suddenly pulled closer.
"Ah —"
Bang —
The sports car broke the railing and rushed out of the toll station. Ya Han looked back and saw a few employees of the toll station rushing out in a flustered and exasperated manner.
In the past, when she saw such things on TV, she felt disgusted. However, at this moment, she felt a little excited and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When she turned back, she heard Jiaming say next to her, "Sit tight."
"Uh, what …"
"We have to shake off the tail behind us."
"But that's a helicopter …"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Jiaming open a blue square cover on the driver's seat and press a red button.
Nitric oxide …
She only had time to see the English letters next to the red button and didn't have time to think about the meaning behind it. Suddenly, a huge pressure pressed her into the seat again. It was like the few seconds when the sports car sped up. A huge acceleration once again descended on this already high-speed sports car.
In her ears, she could already hear the crazy roar of the turbine's rotation …
She glanced at the meter in front of her. The speedometer increased rapidly in a few seconds. 200, 220, 240, 260 … The red sports car flew out like a rocket. In the blink of an eye, it had broken through 300 kilometers per hour and was still rising. She looked back with difficulty. The crazy snowflakes danced behind the car and formed a hurricane. In the blink of an eye, the helicopter in the air was thrown far away.
Everything was thrown away, including the entire space. It was as if in an instant, it was pulled behind her …
*****
At an almost crazy speed, the red sports car rushed out of the highway. It was a fork in the road that led to an unknown place. At this speed, in a short while, there were three more roads in front of her. The sports car rushed to the left road. Its speed had dropped to 180 kilometers per hour. Occasionally, there would be cars coming in front of it, but they would disappear in the blink of an eye.
A few minutes later, both sides of the road gradually became desolate. In the distance, she could see some farm houses that still had lights on. It was winter, and the crops outside had already been harvested. There were places where wormwood was low and snow had accumulated. It looked a little desolate. Although compared to China, the United States was sparsely populated. However, it was a little unbelievable that there was such a desolate place in front of her after leaving New York for less than an hour.
Ya Han looked out the window. "Where is this?"
"United States, somewhere in New Jersey. I don't know the specific name."
Jiaming frowned and changed gears a few times. Although the speed had dropped, at this time, the faint sound of the engine could be heard in the sports car. He muttered, "This car can't hold on for much longer …"
"Is it breaking down?"
"Drive slowly.
The acceleration of the nitric oxide is too harmful to the car. In addition, it has been tormented for the whole night. It's already good that it can hold on until now. "
Jiaming smiled. Because it was his original smile, his American face looked a little wretched and strange. "It's not a Mark V."
No matter what, it was hard to agree that the current speed was called driving slowly. However, compared to Just now, the current speed was indeed much slower. Ya Han hesitated for a while. "Will my stepmother and the others be okay?"
"They should be safer than us. That guy called Steamed Bun is fine. Besides, they have companions nearby. The police are also rushing over … Do you have a cell phone with you?"
"No."
Ya Han spread her empty hands, then smiled and looked up. "Except for myself, I didn't bring anything else."
"It's enough. I have something that can make a call … Well, it's been destroyed.
Let's find a place to contact them later. Maybe there's a small town, a shop or something … "
Ya Han nodded. "And then?"
"We can't go on the plane today, in case they go crazy … and ask you to go back secretly. By the way, your condition …"
"The doctor said that they still need to observe for two more days, but they don't seem to have much confidence … Also, after what happened, that hospital is finished … Will you go back with us?"
Seeing Ya Han looking at him, Jiaming smiled embarrassedly. "Uh, I still have something to do …"
"Uh …"
"But it should be very simple. We should be able to go back together. Of course, it's just a possibility. Also … because of various reasons, you know, I can't let your stepmother see me."
"Coward …" Ya Han rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head and smiled. "You've been to America before?"
"In the past … I've been to the fork in the middle. I've never been here before, so I don't know where it leads."
"Then why are you here?"
"I can't control it anymore."
Jiaming laughed. "Do you think I'm a god? A car with nitrous oxide is like a rocket. It will definitely die if it hits anything. The road conditions there are bad. A stone can make the car fly, so I can only drive here."
"I don't think you're afraid."
"I'm just trying my best to forget."
He casually replied. Seeing Ya Han's thoughtful look, he quickly smiled and said, "I've told you before that I'm a killer."
"I didn't say that."
She looked at him. "I used to think that you were a very smart kid, but now … I don't know how to say it. You've become … very strange …"
"I …" Jiaming was about to answer, but the car finally broke down by the roadside. Jiaming started it again and stepped on it a few times. He turned to Ya Han and said, "It's broken …"
*****
Snow was flying in the air. On a deserted road in New Jersey, a red sports car full of bullet holes was parked there quietly. Orange lights came out from the car. A wretched-looking American man was lying in front of the open car hood. Beside him, a beautiful Chinese woman was walking around, blowing hot air into her hands. Occasionally, she would kick the snow on the roadside out of boredom.
"Can the car be fixed?" The woman asked loudly in a clear voice.
"Probably not.
But I have to try, "the man said without turning his head.
"You really know how to fix cars?"
"I know a little."
"I thought you were just messing around with my old car in front of Xu Mo … How much more do you have that I don't know?"
"Actually, I'm from the future."
"Boast!" The woman rolled her eyes and nodded. "Keep bragging!"
"Fine, you won't believe me even if I tell you the truth."
The man tried his best to blow away some of the snow on the internal parts. He knocked twice with the hammer in his hand, then turned his head. "If you're cold, go back to the car. Don't cause trouble here."
"I'm not going back."
The woman breathed a few mouthfuls of hot air into her hands. Then, the man continued to repair the car. She walked around the side a few times. Suddenly, she thought of something and started to laugh. She laughed until she was convulsing on the side of the road. The man stood up straight and looked at the woman who was laughing like an idiot. "Did you hit your head on the toilet?"
"Haha, I think it's funny. You just … Haha, do you still remember?
You just … "She held her stomach with one hand and bent over with the other." You just said … I'm broken, haha … You're broken … You're broken, haha … "
The man looked at her expressionlessly for a while and then continued to fix the car. The woman laughed for a while and finally stopped. "Hey, can't you change your appearance back?
I feel so awkward looking at you now … "
"Do you think it's magic? It's that easy. There's not even water here."
"There's hot water in the water tank and cold water on the ground …"
"Idiot …"
"Gu Jiaming, you … Ah —"
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw him lunge at her. At that moment, she thought he was angry. Their bodies fell heavily into the snowy grass by the roadside. Then, she saw his incomparably serious gaze. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the sparse and decaying sea of grass in front of them. "Quick, crawl over there and find a place to hide. Don't get close to the car."
In the snow and wind not far away, a black silhouette with a faint beam of light appeared in the night sky.
That helicopter had actually found this road and followed it to find their way here …
Without much hesitation, she crawled over. When she turned around, Gu Jiaming took out a bag from the sports car and then gently closed the car door.
Not long after, the helicopter came closer. The helicopter's searchlight shone on the broken down sports car.
She lay behind a haystack about twenty meters away from the roadside and tried to cover her body with snow. She was so cold that she shivered.
Gu Jiaming's figure was already nowhere to be seen. In the sky, the helicopter hovered above the sports car. A moment later, the helicopter's door seemed to open.
In the snow and wind, a crisp gunshot rang out!
Then, an orange-yellow beam of light slashed down from the sky. Because the people in the helicopter were shot, the rocket missed its aim and exploded in the snow by the roadside.
The helicopter quickly rose. The revolving machine gun installed on the side of the helicopter roared and shrouded a certain spot in the snow. Suddenly, a large amount of soil and snow were sent flying.
In the snow, a figure suddenly jumped out. He turned around and fired another shot. Then, he ran wildly toward the dark forest in the distance.
The helicopter followed closely behind.
Lying in the snow, she waited coldly. Gradually, the helicopter and the gunshot were far away. Five minutes … Ten minutes … Heaven and earth returned to silence. She lay there, suddenly not knowing what to think or do. However, the snow was cold to the bone, and a sense of fear gradually came over her.
Looking at the forest where the helicopter and the people disappeared, she moved occasionally and clenched her hands tightly.
When she didn't see him, she had some resentment in her heart. After seeing him, everything became calm. Just now, watching him repair the car, the countless near-death experiences an hour ago and all the things in the past seemed to be unimportant. However, in the blink of an eye, he suddenly disappeared again.
She knew that he was very powerful, but to what extent could this "power" reach? How could a person's strength fight against a plane? She didn't know … She never knew that waiting for someone could make her feel so lonely and scared …
The sky was covered in snow. Not far from the roadside, the orange and warm lights of the sports car were still lit up. She looked at the lights but did not dare to go over. If the helicopter came back, it would definitely investigate the sports car. But what was the point of hiding here? If they came back and hid here, they would definitely be discovered... But she did not dare to leave. If he came back...
Without a watch on her wrist, the fear in her heart lengthened every second. In the snow, her hands and feet gradually became numb. She didn't know when, but she suddenly turned her head, and a figure stopped beside her.
"Did you wait long?"
In the wind and snow, she heard the voice say, "I'm back …" (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support legal reading!)
